Mandatory Steps involved in Company Registration in Pakistan

At top priority, organizations have to choose a unique name for their company and get approval for the name from SECP. After getting the approval for the company name, businesses have to submit the fee for the registration of their company. Furthermore, they have to submit all the required documents to SECP. Also, ensure the registration for income, sales and professional taxes. Business incorporation services require;

  • Company name selection & approval from SECP
  • Company registration fee submission
  • Submission of documents to SECP
  • Registeration for Income, Sales, and Professional taxes

Registration of Firm or Partnership Business

We prepare the draft of partnership deed for unregistered firms, registered firms, the association of persons (AOPs), and partnership business. We also do correspondence, presentation, hearing and replying to the registrar of the firm for removal of observations issued during the firm partnership business or AOPs registration.

More than managing the registration process, the arrangement of physical presentation of partners is also the part of the registration service. We help our clients as witnesses before firm registrar for registration of firm, partnership business, and Association of Persons (AOPs).

Other Registrations

We also help Non-Profit organizations (NPOs) or Non-Government Organizations (NGOs) in obtaining the license from SECP. Not only this but also provide support to foreign companies in completion of documentation procedure.  Registration Services are also provided by us for registration with other regulators like Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), Drug Regulatory Authority of Pakistan (DRAP), Oil & Gas Regulatory Authority (OGRA), etc. as per business requirements of our clients’.

Winding Up of Company and Dissolution of Firm

The process of implementing the registration and licensing services for firms is not so easy, but the process of deregistration is more crucial than the registration process. So, we provide complete support in the deregistration process. In facilitating the deregistration process, drafting of dissolution deed for the company, drafting of application for company dissolution arrangement for physical presentation of partners and witness before the registrar of the firm for deregistration are also part of the dissolution of the firm. All these deregistration services are available also for partnership business or association of persons (AOPs). The other main steps required for the deregistration of the firm are:

  • Application for deregistration for sales tax
  • Application for the close of business or deregistration with FBR
